All necessary input datasets for the project are imported through this subMakefile. -Irrespective of where the dataset is \emph{used} in the project's lineage, it helps to maintain relation with the outside world (to the project) in one subMakefile (see the modularity and minimal complexity principles \ref{principle:modularity} \& \ref{principle:complexity}). +Irrespective of where the dataset is \emph{used} in the project's lineage, the relation between the project and the outside world is maintained in this single subMakefile, aiming at modularity and minimal complexity (\ref{principle:modularity} \& \ref{principle:complexity}), and internet security. -Each external dataset has some basic information, including its expected name on the local system (for offline access), the necessary checksum to validate it (either the whole file or just its main ``data'', as discussed in Section \ref{sec:outputverification}), and its URL/PID. +Each external dataset has some basic information, including its expected name on the local system (for offline access), a checksum to validate it (either the whole file or just its main ``data'', as discussed in Section \ref{sec:outputverification}), and its URL/PID. In Maneage, such information regarding a project's input dataset(s) is in the \inlinecode{INPUTS.conf} file. See Figures \ref{fig:files} \& \ref{fig:datalineage} for the position of \inlinecode{INPUTS.conf} in the project's file structure and data lineage, respectively. -For demonstration, we are using the datasets of M20 which are stored in one \inlinecode{.xlsx} file on bioXriv. -Figure \ref{fig:inputconf} shows the corresponding \inlinecode{INPUTS.conf} where the necessary information are stored as Make variables and are automatically loaded into the full project when Make starts (and is most often used in \inlinecode{download.mk}). +We demonstrate this with the datasets of M20 stored in one \inlinecode{.xlsx} file on bioXriv. +Figure \ref{fig:inputconf} shows the corresponding \inlinecode{INPUTS.conf} where the necessary information is stored as Make variables and is automatically loaded into the full project when Make starts (and is most often used in \inlinecode{download.mk}). \begin{figure}[t] \input{tex/src/figure-src-inputconf.tex} \vspace{-3mm} \caption{\label{fig:inputconf} The \inlinecode{INPUTS.conf} configuration file keeps references to external (input) datasets of a project, as well as their checksums for validation, see Sections \ref{sec:download} \& \ref{sec:configfiles}.
